Christmas Music Card

I realised that I haven't posted in over two weeks (and I expect that will continue or get worse until after Christmas) I've been busy with work but also preparing projects for StampersQuest.com and classes at Scrapbook Corner. Today, I decided to join in the challenge here at CreatedByHandChallenge and this is the card I have made. (Please ignore the sticker sticking up - it has been remedied -honest)

I've used up peices that I was experimenting with in preparation for a class at my local - Scrapbook Corner.



Stamps used: well actually none

Inks used:alcohol and various dye

Techniques used: sponging through sequins scrap, peelcraft stickers

In the jungle...

Well the jungle that is my craft area....

Just a quick post to show off this gorgeous stamp I got from Rubbadubbadoo this week - New Zealand shopping is the only way to go at the moment (with exchange rates the way they are). Overseas shipping is about NZ$ 15 for up to a kg.

I have sooooo much planned for this lion. This is a quick card I did to try him out. It took about 8 minutes all up. I coloured in with the kids pencils that were out on the table, added some sponging then the extra sponged layer and hey presto! I'll add a word or embellishment of some kind (not sure what exactly) before he gets sent away but isn't he magnificent!
